Ready, Set, Shop at Amazon in Virtual Reality

January 21, 2017

Already a top leader in online shopping, Amazon is now making moves to set up virtual reality shopping, if their recent job posting is any indicator of Amazon’s intentions. A LinkedIn post reveals Amazon’s interest in hiring a “Creative Director, Virtual Reality,” with the primary duty of “building Amazon’s VR shopping experience for use by millions of customers on a wide variety of VR devices.” Though Amazon has yet to make any formal announcement of their plans toward VR shopping, this e-commerce technology trailblazer opened the flood gates last year with seeking to fill other creative technology positions. Such a move by Amazon to VR shopping would rival that of only Aliibaba, which as recently as last November released their VR shopping experience.
